Back to business - Ryota's comeback in Tokyo
Ryota lost a freezer and scales to the demolition of the market and needs $1,900 to reopen a fish stall and support the family.

For twelve years I have run a fish stall in Tokyo. In August, the demolition of the market took a freezer and scales. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Thursday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 10 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Replacing a freezer and scales: $840
• Initial stock: the first catch: $360
• Shop repairs and licensing: $390
• Working capital for the first month: $310
I hope life is good to you.
- Ryota

take care, Ryota. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out
thinking of you, Ryota. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
